It means teams actually try and attack when they are away from home, rather than sit back and defend for 90 minutes. The rule only applies if the aggregate score is a draw, i would agree with your point if it was the old rule that away goals counted double. Maybe a rule that the away goal rule comes in after extra time has been played would be better, but it's much fairer compared to the game going to penalties.
